A CLASSIC: Master, Mission, Mate (Part 1 of 3)


Master Mission Mate principle
I call this ORIGINAL LOVE coz its patterned from 
the Book of Genesis (my opinion -- PASTOR JR)

  • a principle EMBRACED by many.
  • a principle CHALLENGED by some.
  • a principle APPLIED to gain freedom.
  • a principle many calls OLD FASHIONED (and it is true), BUT WORKS!
  • a principle that PROVIDES LESS Head-aches, Stomach-aches and Heart-aches!
introduction:
Master, Mission, Mate is all about RELATIONSHIPS. 
Relationships that should be established for a life that is in the will of our Father God. 

Like Adam the first man, he had
  • a MASTER to follow,
  • a MISSION to do 
  • then came the MATE that was given by God for him to enjoy.
“Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."  (Genesis 1:26)

 “The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.  And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;  but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." 

The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.  So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.  But for Adam no suitable helper was found.  So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought         her to the man.      The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.  The man and his wife were both naked,  and they felt no shame.”  (Genesis 2:15-25)

==========

At the time we were BORN AGAIN, we are fully restored to the plan of God for fullness in Him. 
We have a new MASTER!  A new Mission and a lot of surprises in stored for us. 
God truly cares and BLESSES His children so abundantly! 
This is His PERFECT will for you and me.

Thoughts from GENESIS 1:26, 2:15-25

Adam had a MASTER
       -- Adam was Created by God (in His image and likeness)
       -- Adam had Fellowship with God (talking & walking together)
       -- Adam was under His Command and Control (obedience expected)

Adam did his MISSION
       -- There was a Responsibility Given (put in the garden to work and care for it)
       -- There was a Garden to Tend (a territory to take responsibility of)
       -- There were Animals to Name and Control (that was its name as Adam called each one)

Adam was blessed by a MATE from God
       -- This was God's Idea (not good for a man to be alone, although awful for a ‘boy’ and ‘girl’ to be alone)

            Remember the 7 B’s
            Books Before Boys Because Boys Bring Babies
  
       -- This was God's Gift (God made Adam “sleep” and made a partner for him)
       -- This was God's Blessing (Go and multiply was said after the blessing)


A Review:  “MASTER” 101
  1. Who is really in absolute control?
  2. Is He King?  Lord?  Over-all our desires and wishes?
  3. Is He Supreme and sovereign over our lives?
  4. Are you His Disciple all the way?
  5. Are you totally dependent on Him?
  6. Do you believe that God has promises and wants the best for you?
  7. Do you believe that God has a plan for your  life?
  8. Who is Number One in your life? 

A Review:  “MISSION” 101  
  1. Do you understand that you are Under a Calling?
  2. Do you know that you have a Vocation?  
  3. A Work to do?
  4. A Purpose to Fulfill?
Notice:   
    = Adam was placed in the garden to work and care for it.
    = Since you are already saved God would like to use you to be His representative. 
                    (ambassador, light, salt)
    = God is an active God and wants an active powerful church! 
    = We are to advance God’s kingdom in every heart, nation, educational system, government         and places of the world — we are to preach the gospel to all creation. 
    = We are to make a difference — turn the world up-side-down. 
    = We are to create “RIOTS” (righteous invasion of truth). 
    = Ask:  Am I a God-pleaser or man-pleaser?


A Review “MATE” 101 
This NEED has convinced God because He made us as Relational beings … therefore we need people!
This specific NEED is to be MET by God Himself!
That’s why we get married at the Altar … for those who cannot wait … they may be married in a ____________?
God wants the best for you. 
God the Father, Knows best. 
This is the very thing the devil would like to withhold from you.

The Mate LIFE (Part 2 of 3) COMING SOON!
------------------
NOTE:
The Master Mission Mate principle is the life of Pastor JR and Trixie.
This is being shared to our young people at YX and also dedicated to all young people and singles.  They are encouraged to heed this principle and apply this for successful, character filled and patient leadership especially among STUDENTS and YOUNG PROFESSIONALS.
ANOTHER VERSION OF MMM is called "Master-Mate-Mission" designed for people who are with families already.  Notice MASTER - MATE - MISSION and not MASTER - MISSION - MATE. Family comes first when you are already MARRIED.  Yet MISSION comes first if you AIN'T!
